  Ka-na-pau-ka 
  kills 
  are 
  now 
  the 
  Dutch 
  kills. 
  From 
  kenuppe, 
  

   swiftly, 
  and 
  locative, 
  where 
  the 
  zvater 
  runs 
  swiftly. 
  

  

  Ln-srm 
  was 
  considered 
  an 
  Indian 
  name 
  by 
  Thompson, 
  but 
  Tooker 
  

   thinks 
  it 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  Lewisham. 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  called 
  Jericho. 
  

  

  Mad-nairs 
  Neck 
  of 
  1665 
  is 
  Great 
  Neck. 
  

  

  Man-et-to 
  is 
  described 
  by 
  Ruttenber 
  as 
  a 
  hill 
  30 
  miles 
  from 
  Brook- 
  

   lyn, 
  and 
  midway 
  in 
  the 
  breadth 
  of 
  the 
  island. 
  He 
  called 
  it 
  the 
  hill 
  

   of 
  the 
  Great 
  Spirit, 
  deriving 
  it 
  from 
  Manitou. 
  Thompson 
  also 
  said 
  

   it 
  was 
  a 
  hill 
  between 
  Jericho 
  and 
  Bethphage, 
  sacred 
  to 
  the 
  Great 
  

   Spirit. 
  Manitou, 
  however, 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  lesser 
  divinities 
  when 
  with- 
  

   out 
  the 
  adjective, 
  and 
  often 
  to 
  anything 
  unusual. 
  Thus 
  Roger 
  

   Williams 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  They 
  cry 
  out 
  Manittoo, 
  that 
  is, 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  god, 
  at 
  the 
  

   apprehension 
  of 
  any 
  excellency 
  in 
  men, 
  women, 
  birds," 
  etc. 
  Thus 
  

   here, 
  if 
  correctly 
  applied, 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  only 
  a 
  hill 
  of 
  remarkable 
  

   appearance. 
  

  

  Man-has-set 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  sometimes 
  called 
  Sint 
  Sink 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   ard 
  Cow 
  Neck 
  by 
  the 
  English. 
  This 
  name 
  was 
  applied 
  to 
  Schout's 
  

   bay 
  in 
  1640, 
  and 
  Tooker 
  makes 
  it 
  the 
  same, 
  as 
  does 
  a 
  note 
  in 
  New 
  

   York 
  Colonial 
  Documents, 
  volume 
  2, 
  page 
  145, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  said 
  of 
  

   Schout's 
  bay 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  "Now 
  Manhasset 
  (North 
  Hempstead), 
  at 
  

   the 
  head 
  of 
  Cow 
  bay, 
  afterward 
  called 
  Howe's 
  bay, 
  from 
  Lieutenant 
  

   Daniel 
  Howe, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  Schout's 
  from 
  the 
  circumstance 
  of 
  the 
  

   Dutch 
  official 
  having 
  landed 
  there." 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  bay 
  

   and 
  necks 
  as 
  well. 
  

  

  Ma-ros-se-pinck 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  next. 
  The 
  chief 
  of 
  this 
  

   place 
  some 
  sold 
  land 
  in 
  1639. 
  

  

  Mar-sa-pe'ague 
  or 
  Marseping 
  Indians 
  had 
  their 
  name 
  from 
  their 
  

   home. 
  The 
  sachem 
  of 
  Marsapege 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1656, 
  1661 
  and 
  

   1664. 
  In 
  1655 
  it 
  was 
  written 
  Marsepain. 
  

  

  Mar-tin-ne-houck 
  was 
  mentioned 
  as 
  an 
  Indian 
  village 
  at 
  Mattinne- 
  

   konck 
  or 
  Martin 
  Gerritsen's 
  bay 
  in 
  1650. 
  When 
  Indian 
  names 
  re- 
  

   sembled 
  Dutch 
  words, 
  as 
  in 
  Algonquin 
  dialects 
  they 
  often 
  did, 
  there 
  

   was 
  sometimes 
  confusion. 
  

  

  Ma-tin-i-cock 
  point 
  suggests 
  the 
  last. 
  It 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1644 
  

   and 
  1661, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  still 
  preserved 
  in 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Oyster 
  Bay. 
  

   Mattanauke 
  suggests 
  this, 
  but 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  " 
  a 
  fine 
  sort 
  of 
  mats 
  to 
  

   sleep 
  on."
